Camino Real Veracruz
This is the best hotel in Veracruz that is directly on the beach. Great staff, great location. Walking distance to dozens of restaurants and the best shopping malls in the city. We stayed two years in a row and will be returning next year. Highly recommend!

The staff at Galeria Plaza is always the best. They are friendly, helpful and professional. I have also noticed managers are present and also very friendly with guests. Every time I stay at Galeria Plaza in Veracruz it is a great experience.
